Mets lose Clay Holmes in cold Citi Field loss to A’s

Maybe it’s the weather. A brutal New York City winter has extended into spring, preventing the Mets from producing runs. Maybe it was the biting cold that tweaked the hamstring of Clay Holmes on Friday night.
Since returning home to Citi Field this week, the Mets’ offense has gone from an overflow to a dripping faucet. It shut off completely Friday night in a 4-0 loss to the A’s. In four games this week, the Mets have gone 1-3 and scored only seven runs.
Even worse, they lost Holmes to left hamstring tightness 5 1/3 innings into his outing against the A’s. He came out of the game with one out and one on in the sixth, and the Mets trailing 1-0. Holmes allowed only one earned run on five hits, working around traffic created by a pesky A’s lineup.
